A TRAAp'S STORY

RSlSSu IN Luxury ana Related TO some OIL
Vlrginia's Oldest Families.
WHEELING, w. VA, Sept. THE po-
lice picked up particularly dilapidated
and ragged tramp in railroad yard here
yesterday who turns out to be connected
by blood with one of the oldest and most
noted of the Old Virginia families resid-
ing in this portion of the undivided state,
and to be related 10 many Of our leading
families. The man was g n ost Woe-be-
gone specimen of humanity, dirty and IN
shaver and attired in g tattered suit OF all
colors and materials. In response to q
series of questions at police headquar-
tiers, be told the following romsntic tale
with an air of great simplicity and gppa-
rent truthfuluess;
"My name" ne said, lis Webster
Crugar, and l am a grandson of Daniel
Crugar, who married the late Mrs. Cru
gar, formerly Mrs. Sheppard, who lived
in the Clay monument place, near Wheel
ing. My fathers name was Washington
Crugsr, and he lived in New York, where
he married my mother, who Wss q Miss
Jane Brown. lie was wealthy merchant.
| was born while they were living in New
YORK in the year 1852, and am now thirty
five yesrS of age. My parents both died
while ! WAS but q lad, leaving me g large
property, which was fri:tered away while
l was under age. | was Sd inmate of
Mrs. Crugar's household until | was ten
years OF age and was then driven away
and have managed to scratch along lot
myself ever since.
Il lived for u number OF years in New
York, where | learned q trade, but meet
ing with Ill Luck, took TO the road, work
ing where l could set odd )bs snd trsv-
cling over ne continent. Not having
seen the old place for twenty i've years,
| turned in tbis dire CtioD ent want 10 see
it once more before l move on. Where
90 or where | will land Is 6 matter OF the
most pcrfec. Indifference 20 me, as nave
neither friends nor Teletive9 living who
care - whether l am living or dead
The Monument Place referred TO is the
location of the celebrated CIGy monument
q Elm Grove, four miles east OF this
city. In the old mansion house such
men as Clay, Jackson, Lafayette ind
others have been often entertained by
Daniel Crugsr and bis wife, and there it
was that the tramp now occupying cell
in the lookup spent mis- early days. His
story is generally believed, as he details
circumstances of which a stranger could
have no possible knowledge.

LNGALLISN..

The article contributed to the Forum
by Senator ingalls, of Kansas, is attract
ing wide attention north and south, snd
is drawing down on the devoted head of
the author much criticism. The ideas
advanced are Of the most radical charsc-
ter and the language used is prositive
and unequivocal. He processes to write
on womsn's suffrage, but in the discus
sion Of the question goes over much out
lying territory and ploughs up much
new ground which more conservative
if not wiser statesmen, or, as he calls
them, towards and demagogues, have
never shown disposition to till. Much
that he is says is true, much more of it
debatable, and still more is absurd, but
ton In the outset he denies the wisdom
ana truth Of what he stigmatizes as "the
JeffersoDian fallacy" that universal sui
trsge is a right and that government rests
on the consent of the governed. He
takes the opposite ground, not indeed an
entirely new one, that right to vote is q
privilege conferred on the citizen, and
that instead of governments resting upon
the consent of the governed, they rest in
all cases upon force. In human govern.
ments SIS il ell things in the material
world there is no lasting triumph Of
sentiment. The natural order
of things snd the logic Of
the past show conclusiyely that The
weaker must submit to and be crushed
by the stronger, end that the doctrine tina.
"misht makes right" is permanent and
universal l. is diflicult to see Just how
the distinguished Senator can convince
himself that 'ithe right to vote is privi-
lege conferred" Under our form OF gov
eminent, people are supposed to be free
AMI equal, politically, and 1t would be
absurd to think of Withholding or confer
ring the right TO vote on sny class.
Who would confer the privilege ard upon
whom? What class of citizens shall be
denied the privilege and who shall Ceny
it? Certainly the individual citizen
could not confer or withhold this
privilege, and as certainly the government
could not, because the latter is only
an aggregation of individuals. Will men
who are elected by the votes of the peo-
pie pass laws disfranchising their con-
stituents? 1t might be convenient for

Defeating our manufacturers in their
endeavor to compete abroad with the
manufacturers of untaxed raw materials,
war taxation has set them on ferocious
competition at cut-throat prices in our
own home market, to which they are
shut up, and for which their producing
powers are increasing superabundant.

A PREMATURE PUBLICATION
Causes Claims to Press and Embar.
rass Bray & Robinson.

1t is feared the recent failure of Beede &
Bray will seriously affect the firm of Bray
Il Robinson, the credits of the two firms
being closely connected and Mr.. Bray being
largely interested in both. The Chicago
Link-Belt company's suit has injured the
credit of the latter firm. An effort was
made to suppress the publication of this
suit but it was unsuccessful, and its ap-
pearance aroused suspicion which would
otherwise never have been excited. Bray
IL Robinson are really sound and will
weather all difficulty if claims are not pre-
scented until maturity. the embarrassment
having been caused by the fact that Bray &
Robinson held $50. 900 of the paper of
Beede & Bray. The schedule of the assets
and liabilities of the latter firm will be filed
to-day and will show S1O2, 900 of the former
and S135, coo of the latter. Of the Bray Il
Robinson situation Mr.. Robinson said yes
terday:
l am not worrying over tine matter at all.
If our creditors will give us week TO get
into shape Well come out all right. Our as
sets are considerably in excess Of our liabili-
ties. but we cannot get hold Of the money due
us at once. l can't imagine what the Link
Belt company means. One of the notes it
sues us on is not due until the 18th of this
month. Our creditors are nearly all in the
East, and if they are disposed to be fair we
shall have but little trouble.
